get angry. Next, get ready to swing. In ten seconds, press A
as many times as possible. If you press it 100 times, you will
get the Silver Racket. If you swing it 150 times you will get
the Gold Racket. Note: Try wrapping your hand in your shirt and

the score appears. Save the game, quit, then resume the game you
were just playing. The game (not match or set) will be reset.
Hint: Playing in any of the training rooms, competitions, matches,
etc.:
When you are on the court, position yourself in the center (or
just slightly behind center ) when playing. This allows you to
be able to move quickly to any position on the court, because you
are the same distance from any point. After a return or serve, go
back to that position to prepare for a return ball. This will help
you greatly in your advancement and allow you to win and return
more balls, giving you more experience points, and allowing you to
dominate the court more.
When playing against an opponent or in the training, read where
the ball will be going. If the opponent or the machine goes to one
of the upper or lower corners, position yourself between the center
of the court and the sideline closest to where the your opponent is
positioned. This will allow you to return the ball easily if it
goes to the sideline or to the center of the court. The same thing
works if the opponent goes to the upper center or lower center.
If upper, stand in the center because you will have enough time to
react because of the distance. If the opponent comes close, go back
slightly to get more time to react.
When playing on the Wall trainer, if you stand close and can react
quickly, you will be able to return the ball rapidly to the wall,
allowing you to get the 50 returns goal quicker: Note: This will
not always work; it depends on how quickly you can move and hit the
ball without hitting the rotating pads and alternating high and low
returns. This is most difficult when you reach the higher levels
where there are faster and more pads to avoid. When you get to the
higher levels, stand about center back and alternate high and low
hits. This will work most, but not all of the time. Just remember your
ball return power. The speed will also be a determining factor in how
you can control and receive the ball
When you finish all four levels in both training rooms, your next goal
will to beat your previous record. When you get to your highest number
of returns, beat it by one and then miss the ball. This should give
you good experience points, but allow you to keep playing it for
awhile since your goal each time will be just one higher.
Hint: Always win
----------------
Select adventure mode. If the score is 40-0 for your opponents,
save and quit. When you restart the game, it will be 0-0 again.
The game only counts games and sets.
Hint: Easy wins
---------------
Try to do a drop shot, then run up to the net and hit the ball from
side to side (after they hit the ball). You should get a point after
the third or fourth hit.
Hint: Always the Island Open Tournament
---------------------------------------
Get to the Island Open Tournament. Immediately press A + B + Start +
Select when the match starts to win that round. Repeat this four
times to instantly win the tournament.
Hint: Drop Shot technique
--------------------------
Note: This trick only works in singles. When doing a tough match
(for example, Island Open against Mario), get close to the net and
use the drop shot (B + A) to lure your opponent close. Then, when
they are close and return the shot, hit the ball to either side.
They may dive and hit the ball, but it will be weak. Smack the ball
again when they are trying to get up.
Hint: More experience
---------------------
After you have completed all of the wall mini-game levels, talk to
the girl in front of the door that is preventing you from walking in.
She will ask you if you are ready for the master level of practice.
Press B and she will ask if want to try for an even easier level of
practice. Answer "Yes". Then, walk on any of the level numbers and
press A. You will get more experience.
When you enter the traveling team in singles mode, you will have
new equipment. Go to the training center and equip the Iron Shoes
or the Iron Racket. They both give you 150% more experience when
you win a match.
Hint: Choose partner
--------------------
Finish either Mario Challenge (singles is easier if you use the
"Drop Shot" trick technique). After that, make sure you have an
empty file or one you do not use. You now have the option to pick
either Harry or Kate (and make them left or right handed).
